A historic Warwickshire cottage lovingly restored on a popular TV show has hit the housing market. Believed to date from 1632, Yew Tree Cottage in the picturesque village of Lighthorne, near Wellesbourne, is, according to estate agents Strutt & Parker, 'a beautifully presented, Grade II listed home 'displaying a harmonious blend of vintage and modern interiors'.

The property, which 'combines exposed beams, glass divides and stone walls with modern day living arranged over two floors', was done up for a season seven episode of George Clarke's Old House New Home on Channel 4.

"Upon entering the property, the reception hall provides access to the principal rooms whilst revealing a timber divide separating the double aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and stone surround," Strutt & Parker's listing says.

"Adjacent to this is a dining area overlooking a wood-burning stove with an adjoining kitchen, fitted with stylish cabinetry, stone worktops and a breakfast bar topped by a bespoke made oak worktop.

"The kitchen is filled with natural light and boasts a modern feature of a bi-folding window and external door which give a sense of indoor/outdoor living. Beyond this space is a useful utility with door to the rear garden, access to the internal garage and a WC with shower room.

"A bespoke staircase, with curved wooden balustrade and glass enclosure, rises to the first floor where a principal bedroom has a stunning vaulted ceiling, a modern en suite shower room and dressing area. Completing the accommodation are two further bedrooms and a cloakroom."

Despite only just hitting the market, the cottage is already under offer, CoventryLive understands. Take a look inside the property, being sold by Emily and Anthony @thatchedyewtreecottage, in our gallery below.
